Stefani Joanne Angelina Germanotta aka Lady GaGa aka Mother Monster just released the high res of the Special Editon of Born This Way. To her defense it looks a lot better when you see it in full size, not as butt ugly as before. A vast improvement! The album is out May 23! Are you excited?! We love that the special Mugler remix of Scheiße is getting it's proper release! Also, check out the E! trailer for the upcoming release of the Judas video on May 5th!
Adele has the voice and the fans so she could pretty much sing anything at the moment and people would listen. We're sure some would even pay her to sing the phone book. (Are those around anymore?) Thankfully she has excellent material as well, such as her new single, the breathtaking Set Fire To The Rain. We love this more organic take on it, and the end is just pure perfection.
Say hello to L.A hottie Colette Carr, you'll be hearing a lot about her in the near future we're sure. A warning before you hit that play button though, you'll be unable to get (We Do It) Primo out of your head. Produced by Frankmusik and featuring a sample of Keane's Somewhere Only We Know it looks set to be a huge summer smash when it's out on May 10th.
Stunning live rendition from earlier in the month of Sadness Is A Blessing from Lykke Li and her band on Swedish television. This track is so good!!! Earlier this week Lykke blogged about her not feeling well after a meltdown and joint problems in Glasgow and has had to cancel shows. Sounds serious so we hope she's better and wish a speedy recovery.
I must off course start this post with saying how truly sorry I am for canceling shows. The show must always go on I know, but this time I just couldn't stand up, let alone roll those god damn hips. I had some kind of complete meltdown on Marks&Spencer in Glasgow on one of those very rare days off while on route. For various reasons, various hardships sneaked up on me and I was standing at an isle contemplating life and death and the struggles of being an artist/soul/woman/human being when the overbearingness sneaked up on me like Batman himself. I fell to the floor and so did the raspberries I had in my hand, the troubled breathing lead to some severe lumbago which ment I couldn't move and had to lay straight for a few days. In a valium haze I took a flight back to my loved ones where a strong man cracked my holy spine loose and I was soon able to walk again. Little did I know it was my troubled hip joint that was the problem in the first place, so had to go back to a horizontal mode. My body then decided Easter was the perfect time to let a god damn flu blossom out, so I spent the whole easter praying to God to get better, drinking ginger tea while watching Apocalypse Now wishing nothing more then that I could have been on that stage with you.
